It looks like its going to be even more aggresive than the current model.

[JiggaStyles09]

seems to have a similar shape to the current X5, im scared of what is going to happen to the rear of the car though. i hope it doesnt end up looking like that of the X3. i guess we will see, but the remodel will hopefully come with its share of engine upgrades which is always a good thing.

the new I6 from the 330i E90 258hp for the base model?? :D

[DeMoN]

try to visualize it in my head and OH LORD plz dont let it be like I have it in my head.

Have you noticed, all spy pics are pictures of black cars? LOL black = less lines shape view.

[neilo63]

As long as the rear doesn't look like the X3 and the bumpers are painted i should be happy

Oh yeah.

I love the way the current one looks. as for this one...it's probably masking tape, but the backlighhts look hideous :(

[gobs3z]

The back lights look bad, but it seems like the front will be more agressive, at least i hope so.

[takata]

OH MY GAUD!!! that is hideous!! :cry: :cry:
the previous X5 looks way ..... WAY better!!

looks like another bungled job :(

[ZfrkS62]

is there any consolation in the fact that it will undouibtedly be available with the N62B48 engine? along with the turbocharged 3Liter inline 6?

i'm looking forward to seeing the next spyshots :D

[heath]

oh no....what are they doing in bavaria these days???

[Mr.Vercetti]

oh no....what are they doing in bavaria these days???

Evolving.. :wink:

[acs power]

:shock:
I really hope they will change the rear

[ae86_16v]

Yup. . .

[is64fun]

horrible again. wtf are they doing for designing. who draws these fucking ugly car like things. absolute disaster. it looks like a raised 3-series. another X3. BMW is going backwards. if they continue this shit, thay will again produce the old 507 model.

[DeMoN]

its hard to imagine how i looks anyway. Being black and all coverd up. But yeah the shape of the behind looks bad...

[papaSMURF]

all new flame job bmw's look as if they've been smoking a bit too much and now are the ugl byproduct of such... the ONLY cars that get away with it are the 6 and 7, all others should be burned...

ne1 notice how all lines droop all over, seriously reminds me of some 80yr old crack head.

[yg60m]

Sad to see that :( I don't like the X3 and it seems I won't like the X5. BMW were is your design ??

come on, 7 series is also a bad looking car. very bad in fact. in fact all the story began with that shit...still goes on

[bmwmpower]

every bmw is technicly ok but design ...,

[gucom]

er...not my idea of beauty... :(

[martin100]

Why is BMW doing such a crap with their new cars? The current one looks so nice but this doesn´t look half as good :x

[raphaelws]

ohhh noo!!! i think its ugly..

[sentra_dude]

Its hard to tell what it looks like with all that tape and covering stuff...and also this may not be a final design...but damn it looks hideous to me. The last X5 was very handsome...this, ugh. :(

[Mr.Vercetti]

Woow.. It seems that Im one of the veeery few who actually think that Mr. Bangle designs r nice, and even in some cases beautiful, like the new 6 series. This wasnt the case at first, but now Im starting to getting used to them...

[HeilSvenska]

Droopy, like a snail.

[HeilSvenska]

*oops.

I say the BMW design has sunk deep into an abyss. with no hope of resurfacing again.

[aks]

somebody kill bangle

is it just me or does the rear remind u of a Porsche Cayenne?

[takata]

check out Gemballa GTR750, its brutal ... made it look much better
but but .. the upcoming X5?? its a shame to be seen in one!!! :roll: :|

[diego232]

horrible

[altedza]

horrible

why the hell would you bump at 5 month old post!??

[HeilSvenska]

oh no....what are they doing in bavaria these days???

You know...drinking beer in lederhosens with a big, big bretzels in their hands.


I'm just kidding. I love Germans.

:twisted: consider it done :twisted:

[Akmon]

fu...,I don't like it.Looks like it's smiling or something.Did they have brains?

[dutchmasterflex]

hmm.. hard to tell with all the coverup crap on.. but it looks bulkier.. im sure they made the dimensions both inside and out a bit bigger to appeal to a wider consumer...

i remember not liking the first X5 when it came out.. but as the 4.6is and 4.8is came out.. it started to grow on me..

[ferrarif1fan89]

that is one ugly test car, but the production version should look MUCH better.

[bmwdakias]

How can a lot of you say that it looks hideous,almost the whole car is covered and the picture that i get by looking at it, is that its a clear evolution of the successful X5 design and it will probably look more aggresive than the previous model. The impression that i get is that its gooing to look good.

[Manik]

BMW has so much on the go right now. THis IMO looks very close top the regular X5. Have you guys seen the concept for BMW M1, well I think thats what they call it. It is a small little car and in my opinion it looks like crap.

[DeMoN]

even with the coverups, we can see that the tailights are ugly.
